NPCs only talk to Sophie

[MattVos]

I'm at the very start of the game right now, heading towards the harbor, and the NPCs only speak to Sophie for some reason. Even when I switch to Gustave and I interact with an NPC, they'll speak to Sophie instead, and when the conversation is over, I'll have automatically been switched over to Sophie. Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

[Crimsomrider]

It's intended. Some conversations are meant for specific characters and as such the game will automatically switch to those characters when necessary.

[Hermit Wizard]

Makes sense.Sophie is disappearing soon so people would want to talk to her.

The character you control is basically just for you. It doesn't affect any gameplay at all.

[Shin Happens]

The game will always pick the character for you when it comes to cutscenes. You can control anyone you like, but as soon as there is a story relevant bit the game takes away control and chooses who is in that scene and does the talking.

I see. Thanks, guys! I thought my game was bugging out, and I was missing hella dialogue between Gustave and the NPCs as a result.
